Prince of Failure, the new collaborative project from Daniel Tompkins (TesseracT) and Paul Ortiz (Chimp Spanner), today release their new single 'Jaded Mantra', alongside a new music video. 

Watch the video here [live at 5pm]: https://youtu.be/KfjTPAMARyQ

Stream here: https://orcd.co/jaded_mantra

Pre-order Prince of Failure here: https://princeoffailure.lnk.to/Prince_Of_Failure

‘Jaded Mantra’ is a tale of spiritual rebirth and the acceptance of the shadow self as sacred. Speaking about the new single, Prince Of Failure shared “The closing song - a mantra of resignation and rebirth. This is the point of full acceptance: the Prince and I become one. The old self dies so that the integrated self may live.”

The duo will release their new album Prince of Failure on 19th June via KScope.

Prince of Failure marks a significant shift in Daniel Tompkins’ creative world. Written and developed over several years with Paul Ortiz, the album traces a long internal process rather than a single moment of inspiration. The material reflects on neurodivergence, masking, and the psychological weight of living out of alignment with expectation - themes that shape both the narrative and the sound of the record.

Musically, the album develops the atmosphere of Daniel Tompkins’ earlier solo work into darker, more reflective territory. Paul’s spacious arrangements, electronic textures and powerful guitar work sit alongside intimate, close-mic vocals, creating a strong sense of immediacy without sacrificing the dynamic scope associated with Tompkins’ progressive background and work with TesseracT. The pacing is restrained and deliberate with interludes and recurring motifs reinforcing the feeling of a continuous psychological arc.

The decision to release the record under the name Prince of Failure reflects the collaborative identity of the project and separates it from Tompkins’ previous roles. It allows the work to exist on its own terms, without reference to past expectations. The Prince of Failure now stands as an official creative partnership between Tompkins and Ortiz, a shared vision with long-term intent.

French post metal band Lost In Kyiv have unveiled their new single 'Becoming', featuring haunting guest vocals from Rebecca Need-Menear (i Häxa, Anavae). This is the third single released from their new album We're All Going To Be Fine, out 19th June 2026 via Pelagic Records.

Watch the video to 'Becoming' here: https://youtu.be/7hd49XsPW0c

Stream and pre-save here: https://orcd.co/lostinkyiv

Tenderness and tension move together as the rising intricacies of electronica and acoustic instrumentation constantly build, support and evolve. Poetry, harmony, heavy peaks and atmospheric passages are sculpted with precision and patience, constantly redefining the energy of the piece whilst keeping the emotional centre, solicitude, a depth of empathetic feeling that permeates ‘Becoming’.  

The band comment on the single: "If the album explores the tension between hope and inner collapse, ‘Becoming’ is the moment the glass shatters and your eyes finally open. It is our most atmospheric and melodic song on the album, elevated by our first-ever collaboration with a female singer. Rebecca Need-Menear perfectly embodies this fragile state between dreaming and living."

Over the course of more than a decade, Lost In Kyiv have refined a sound that fuses cinematic ambition, electronic precision, and visceral live energy into something unmistakably their own. With their new album, We’re All Going To Be Fine, they push that identity further than ever; sharpening their production, intensifying their dynamics, and embracing a darker, more immersive sonic architecture.
 
Lost In Kyiv comment: "We're All Going To Be Fine explores the tension between hope and inner collapse, and how modern life can disconnect us from ourselves and each other. The songs were inspired by personal experiences, societal pressure, and the idea that we often become our own worst enemy. We were also inspired by the work of Carl Gustav Jung (who is the voice at the end of the album), especially his ideas about exploring the human psyche, as well as themes from movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or Melancholia."

Lost in Kyiv’s music has always thrived on tension between the organic and the synthetic. On We’re All Going To Be Fine, that integration reaches a new level of clarity and depth. The writing and production process was long and exacting, allowing the band to refine every transition and tonal detail. Songs unfold with architectural precision, motifs are introduced subtly before expanding into vast, multi-layered climaxes. Dynamics are handled with patience and control, silence and minimalism are deployed as strategically as explosive crescendos. This careful pacing gives the album a cinematic flow and larger narrative in which struggle and compassion coexist.

Guitars surge and recede in wide, panoramic arcs. At moments they shimmer and support, at others they thrash violently, accumulating layers of distortion and harmonic overtones. Acoustic instrumentation is interwoven with sequenced synth lines, pulsing arpeggiators, and carefully sculpted electronic textures that give the band’s sound a sense of forward propulsion. 
 
Lost in Kyiv continue: “We always wanted to write music around strong themes, and for the first time, we decided to focus on something more internal than on previous albums. Our last four albums, except maybe Nuit Noire, were more about broader and more general themes. This time, we wanted to explore the fragility of mental health and the human psyche, the relation we have with ourself.”

Air Drawn Dagger return with their new single 'Me & My Friends (We’re Trying Asbestos We Can)', the first clear signal of what follows their debut album and a defining step into the band’s next creative chapter.

Recorded with Jim Pinder, whose work includes Sleep Token, Hot Milk, Bullet for My Valentine, and Neck Deep, the track captures Air Drawn Dagger at their most focused and visceral. It channels the emotional weight and sharp intensity that defined the debut era while pushing into darker and more refined territory, setting the tone for what comes next.

The release follows a sold-out London headline show in April, staged as the final performance of the debut album era, and arrives as the band prepares to tour across the UK and Europe throughout the year. This single is not a continuation but a statement, marking the moment Air Drawn Dagger step forward with intent, clarity, and a renewed creative identity.

Air Drawn Dagger comment on the single: “This song was forged in a cabin in the German mountains in the brief space between tour dates. It came from a period of exhaustion, closeness, and reflection, where everything felt heightened and exposed.

"Sonically, the track feels polarising yet consistent. We built it around contrast rather than compromise, pairing a 'campfire' style chorus that feels almost communal, with the heaviest and most chaotic moments we have ever put into a song. The aim was to let those extremes exist side by side.

"'Me & My Friends (We’re Trying Asbestos We Can)' is three minutes of melodic anguish that reflects where we were mentally and creatively. It captures the push and pull between connection and burnout, warmth and violence, clarity and noise. It documents a band in motion, writing in real time, and allowing the chaos of this period to shape the song rather than fighting against it.“

Post metal quartet Telepathy release their interpretation of Noiseboy's 'To Breathe in Chaos' today. It's part of their upcoming EP Transmissions 2.0 out 12th June focusing on remixes and covers - a reworking of the band's lauded 2025 album Transmissions (Pelagic Records).

In the recording process of their new EP they exchanged songs with industrial/noise artist Noiseboy, who reworked Telepathy's 'Knife Edge Effect', while Telepathy showcase today their interpretation of 'Breathe in Chaos'.

Telepathy comment:
"Transmissions 2.0 was born from a single premise: What would happen, if we applied the institution of remix culture found in electronic music to the instrumental rock world? With Transmissions we added a heap of synthesisers, cinematic and electronic textures to our sound - so when approaching this EP, it felt natural to give some tracks to artists that could expand on this part of our sound. Rather than basic remixes the artists were invited to reconstruct the tracks entirely."

Boston post-metal band, Junius, will release their new LP, Sotera, on 26th June via Prosthetic Records. Sotera is Junius’ first full-length LP in nearly a decade, following 2017’s Eternal Rituals for the Accretion of Light, a recording that Rolling Stone noted “takes the band’s alternately soaring and crashing sound to even more diverse places.” Produced by Junius vocalist/guitarist, Joseph E. Martinez and Tom Syrowski (Blackberry Smoke, Mastodon), Sotera, in Martinez’s words, “feels like a rebirth for the band” and “is an act of devotion as much as it is a piece of music.” 

Pre-order/save Junius' Sotera at this location.

In advance of the new album's release, Junius unveil the new single and video, 'The Oracle', which tells the story of an all-seeing entity, guardian, or observer of the universe. 

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/aUUuR7CYIKg

"The Oracle deals with judgment, not moral judgment, but truth," shares Martinez. "The Oracle watches from up high, seeing civilization get corrupted and drift further away from her. The video is important because we rarely foreground ourselves visually. After some time away, physically reappearing felt appropriate."

Harmonising bright transcendence, heightened consciousness, coiled ear-worming, and emotional swell in like degree, Sotera's’ ambient shoegaze metal is expansive and deep, best experienced unhurriedly. Call it sound as relief and release; intense undercurrents of magnetic volume attached to an almost symphonic use of motion. Fully realised music as exhilarating as it is ghostly. Whereas earlier Junius records wrestled with cataclysms, escaping Samsara and what might come after death, Sotera shifts the focus toward something more immediate: restoring balance through the worship of the divine feminine.

“The word Sotera is the feminine form of saviour or protector in Greek, and it perfectly captured what the album was circling around," offers Martinez. “This album is a musical invocation that explores the divine feminine as a force of transformation and balance. Medea stands at the threshold. In Sotera we’re calling upon Hekate, her mother, to guide us in her resurrection. The Oracle as a loving but ignored prophet. Lucifera appears as the punished light-bringer. The Initiatrix is the one who begins the rite.”

Try to stick just one label, descriptor, or adjective on Junius and it won’t hold - they resist it entirely. For over twenty years, the Boston-based five-piece has moved fluidly between extremes: shouts and hushes, grit and sheen, crushing intensity and hypnotic restraint. In the process, they keep stretching and reshaping the only genre that can loosely contain them - metal - pushing past its edges. That approach often means stepping away from metal’s typical barrage of down-tuned riffs in favour of a wider palette of textures, detours, and emotional tones.

“Mythic, atmospheric, melodic post-metal?” surmises Martinez when pressed to sum up Junius’ sound. “Over the years we’ve been labelled post-punk, post-rock, and now post-metal, in that order. We’ve never really cared too much about the label, but post-metal seems to be the one people have settled on for us. We see it as heavy music that prioritises movement and melody over aggression for its own sake. What we’ve always tried to do is balance weight with emotional lift. The heaviness creates the gravity, but the melody is what carries you into the ether."

In addition to Joseph E. Martinez, Junius features Dana Filloon (drums), Eoghan Mccarthy (guitar), Matthew Vincenty (guitar), and Orion Wainer (bass). 

Find Junius online at JuniusMusic.com and follow the band on Apple Music, Bandcamp, Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, YouTube, and X.

Southern California punk-rock mainstays zebrahead release their new single 'I Know What You Did Last Summer', continuing the rollout for their forthcoming EP O, due 12th August. O is the final instalment in a conceptual series of EPs, including III, II, I, bringing the band’s multi-release arc full circle.

Stream here: https://lnk.to/ZH_IKWYDLS
Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/xEVm7EAlyWs

“Get ready to hear and experience our new song ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer!’ It puts you inside the mind of a madman and takes you on a journey where you’re left wondering…was there even a crime at all?” says bassist Ben Osmundson. “This track marks a whole new direction for us, and I’m excited because it feels so fresh.”

Vocalist/rapper Ali Tabatabaee adds, “I’m so stoked to have the fans hear this song. It’s got a very cool vibe and is one of the standout songs to me on this EP. I can’t wait to play this one live!”

Formed during the Orange County punk explosion, zebrahead has spent decades building a global following through their signature blend of punk energy, metallic riffs, hip-hop flow, and massive singalong hooks. Featuring Ali Tabatabaee, Adrian Estrella, Ben Osmundson, Ed Udhus, and Dan Palmer, the band continues to evolve while maintaining the intensity and humour that have defined their career.

The upcoming EP O completes the band’s conceptual EP series, III, II, I, and now O bringing the collection full circle sonically and visually. The new material pushes zebrahead’s sound further into new and explosive territory while embracing melody, aggression, and experimentation.

“We truly believe we’ve captured something special,” says singer/guitarist Estrella. “Turn it up to eleven and lose your voices!”

Since forming in Orange County, zebrahead have sold more than two million albums worldwide, earned a Grammy nomination through a collaboration with Motörhead, and built a reputation as one of punk rock’s most explosive live acts. Their career includes performances at Reading and Leeds, Download Festival, Rock am Ring, Fuji Rock, Summersonic, Slam Dunk, Vans Warped Tour, and countless sold-out headline shows around the world.

After nearly a decade of operating independently, the band continues to thrive through a DIY approach that has allowed them complete creative freedom. With O arriving 12th August and more music and videos on the way, zebrahead continue to prove that their momentum is only getting louder.

Guitarist Palmer explains, “We plan to do two things: kick ass and chew bubble gum! And we’re all out of bubble gum!”

After performing at Rock am Ring, Rock im Park and touring with Neck Deep, zebrahead and Donots, German pop punk up-and-comers Indecent Behavior return with their single ‘Land Of Eagerness‘.

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/yQO0WdktBrE

Stream the single here: https://indecentbehavior.lnk.to/landofeagerness

Indecent Behavior singer Henrik Bergmann comments on the new single: "Every day we are told that we need more. More possessions, more status, more impact. We are expected to show what we have so that others believe we are someone. But what is left of a person when they live only to meet other people’s expectations? While money disappears for nothing, people buy things they never wanted in the first place. Not because they need them. Not because they love them. But simply to impress. To belong. To survive in a world that confuses value with effect and replaces personality with consumption. And all of this happens because society teaches us that recognition matters more than honesty. That you have to drive when you could walk. That you have to own when you could do without. That you have to keep up, even when you have already lost yourself in the process. 'Land Of Eagerness' is a song about exactly that emptiness. About people sacrificing their money, their convictions, and eventually themselves, just to live up to an image that was never truly theirs. About a world full of pressure, full of rules, full of false promises. About a society that keeps telling us to have more while leaving us feeling less and less. Ten years ago, the song was first released on Indecent Behavior’s debut EP Slaves to the Rules. To mark its 10th anniversary, the band is now releasing a new re-recorded version of the track. But its message is just as bitter today as it was back then. Maybe even more so. Because the pressure to present yourself has only grown stronger. Because people are still trying to fill emptiness with things they do not need, just to impress people who give them nothing in return. A song full of energy and anger that raises the question too often drowned out by all the noise: What do you really feel anymore?"

French progressive technical death metal force Gorod have announced their long-awaited new album The Ember Gone, due for release on 28th August via Base Productions and Season of Mist. Alongside the announcement, the band have also confirmed a European tour this September with Allegaeon.

Entirely self-produced at Bud Studio by guitarist and principal songwriter Mathieu Pascal, before being mixed and mastered by David Thiers at Secret Place Studio, The Ember Gone marks a bold return to the progressive spirit of Transcendence (2011) while pushing Gorod into expansive new territory. Combining groove, immersive atmospheres and richly layered arrangements with the band’s trademark technical precision, the album explores themes of environmental collapse, consumerism and existential anxiety through songwriting that feels ambitious and deeply human.

Speaking on the new album, guitarist Mathieu Pascal comments: “We are undoubtedly delivering the most singular album in our discography. As we are always driven by the desire not to repeat ourselves, to evolve, and to keep surprising people, we sought new ways to express ourselves through different musical vocabularies than those traditionally associated with extreme metal. This album is freer and more open, yet without compromising the complexity and richness of the songwriting, which will always remain the band’s trademark.”

Pre-order: https://shop.season-of-mist.com/band/gorod 

Widely regarded as one of the defining forces in modern technical death metal, Gorod have spent nearly three decades carving out a singular identity far beyond the genre’s traditional confines. Since emerging from Bordeaux in 1997, the band have continually evolved their sound, combining dizzying technicality with groove, melody and sophisticated songwriting to become one of the most distinctive and internationally respected acts in contemporary extreme metal.

Across landmark releases including A Maze of Recycled Creeds (2015), ÆTHRA (2018) and The Orb (2023), Gorod have consistently pushed at the boundaries of technical death metal, whether through the progressive ambition of Transcendence or the razor edged aggression of Kiss the Freak (2017). Never content to repeat themselves, the quintet have built a discography defined by fearless experimentation and an unmistakable musical identity.

Still regarded as one of the tightest and most electrifying live acts in modern extreme metal, Gorod's compositions take on a whole new energy on stage, intense and dynamic but always driven by a sense of groove that makes even their most complex material feel exciting. Renowned not only for their musicianship but for their chemistry and connection with audiences, the band will bring The Ember Gone to stages across Europe this September alongside Allegaeon and Abysmal Dawn.
